FLEMINGTON, NJ -- International
Master and New Jersey native Dean Ippolito is attempting to break the record of
500 simultaneous chess games on Saturday, November 27, 2010.

The World Record attempt will take place in the HealthQuest Sports Dome
located at the Jack Cust Baseball Academy in Flemington, NJ. The 140,000
square-foot dome is the largest sports dome in the United States and is the
perfect setting to bring this World Record back home to the United States.

The current record is held by 29-year-old Iranian Grandmaster Morteza
Majoob, who set the record in Tehran at the Enghelab Sport Complex on August
13, 2009 under the supervision of the Iranian Chess Federation and FIDE. The
World Record, named Rokh-dar-rokh 500 (rook vs. rook 500), consisted of 200
professional chess players, 280 chess enthusiasts and 20 cinema actors and
sportsmen. Majoob finished with 397 wins, 90 draws and 13 losses for a score of
442/500, an 88.4 win percentage.

To break the record, IM Ippolito will have to walk the equivalent of a
marathon, 26.2 miles, and stay focused, playing for at least 18 straight hours.
And in order for it to be counted for World Record status, IM Ippolito will
have to have a winning percentage of at least 80 percent.

International Master Dean Ippolito is proud to
announce that Team Capital Bank, PNC Bank, HealthQuest Fitness, Diamond Nation
and JG Petrucci Company, Inc have all climbed on board as his new sponsors in
his quest to set the World Record at the HealthQuest Sports Dome located in
Flemington, NJ.

IM Ippolito has not lost a game in a simultaneous since the
early 90s, which includes simultaneous wins against Masters, National
Champions, and other top chess players. IM Ippolito routinely plays 50-player
exhibitions and has played several exhibitions with over a 100 players,
one of the first such when he was just 10 years old.
